I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance with most of my time going to the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because good fishing usually gets simpler once one clue starts repeating.
Fish recorded in this water
The species record attached to Whiplash Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so the first fishing plan would include weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and avoid turning a simple trip into a gear-hauling contest.
An easy starting plan
For a first trip to Whiplash Lake, I would make the day about finding one repeatable clue instead of collecting waypoints, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
